After multiple break-ins over the past month, a Pittsburgh restaurant is questioning the police visibility in the neighborhood. They say people have hit their business and others, and not enough is being done.<\/p>\n

The restaurant, Leon’s Caribbean Restaurant, located along East Warrington Avenue in the city’s Allentown neighborhood, was the target of this alleged break-in.<\/p>\n

They posted on Facebook<\/a>, saying that for the third time in a month, someone stole from them on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

First, it was their food truck, then the store. This third time, someone allegedly busted through the front door and took a laptop, camera monitor, and food.<\/p>\n

The owner did not want to go on camera, but says the whole situation is upsetting. He says the boards on the window of the next-door brewery are there because of a break-in as well.<\/p>\n

The restaurant has been in this location for 11 years and never really had any problems until now. They’ve worked to support the neighborhood, feed families, and sponsor kids.<\/p>\n

Their annoyance stems from a perceived lack of police visibility and break-ins happening in the shadow of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police Zone Three headquarters.<\/p>\n

In their post, Leon’s says small businesses are fighting to survive, and they are tired.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The restaurant owner says police did get in touch with him, and a detective spoke with him. He feels more should be done to get whoever is doing this and prevent any further problems.<\/p>\n

KDKA-TV has reached out to police about the restaurant’s concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After multiple break-ins over the past month, a Pittsburgh restaurant is questioning the police visibility in the neighborhood.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51485,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[73,75,74,745,2781],"class_list":["post-51484","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-pittsburgh-police","tag-robbery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51484\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
